This past weekend the fashion set gathered, in the midst of Paris Fashion Week, for a gala to celebrate the prestigious BOF (Business of Fashion) 500 class of 2022. In attendance were a mix of stars, fashion aesthetes like Lori Harvey, FKA Twigs, designers like Tremaine Emory and Simon Jacquemus, supers like Precious Lee, Aweng Choul, and Jourdan Dunn, and a host of fashion editors, stylists, and executives.

Kat Graham looked stunning in a muti-colored Harbinson gown, Precious opted for a Mugler bodysuit, and Alton Mason stood out in Rick owens.

The BoF 500 is “the definitive professional index of the people shaping the fashion industry,” according to BoF. Every year they assemble a list of some of the biggest and most trailblazing voices in the global fashion space. This year’s honorees include design powerhouse Christopher John Rogers, image maker Campbell Addy, and founder of The 15 Percent Pledge, Aurora James. If you remember, back in 2019, this was the same gala Kerby Jean-Raymond called out for its “exploitative” intentions.
